 * I would like to make cosmetic changes to our website ([http://www.teamlocum.co.uk/](http://www.teamlocum.co.uk/)),&
   to do that, I need be able to edit the code. Naturally, I have been told I have
   to use a FTP program for that, but I cannot run an FTP program on my computer
   as it cannot connect to the server or website (a problem I am still trying to
   deal with).
    Therefore, I would like to know if it is at all possible to edit
   the code without the use of an FTP program?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fediting-the-code-without-an-ftp%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can edit the code in WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings => Appearance =>
   Theme Editor
 * You can do the same in Plugins => Editor
 * Before you make any changes are you using a Child Theme?
 * Before you start make a complete back up in case anything goes wrong.

 * You can also use the theme customizer additional css feature. This is even easier
   than any of cjc’s methods.
